We regularly provide analysis on communities with low response rates, and factors that may be contributing to their low-response rates. We have divided the state into 5 regions for reporting purposes, in order to make it easier for your organization to see how each region is responding to the census. Click the links in each region below to view the full details, which you can use to guide and inform your outreach and partnership efforts. Each report also includes dedicated section about response rates in Native communities.
